What are the five primary types of leases and what are their characteristics?
Hi dear TYPES OF LEASE AGREEMENTS Lease agreements are basically of two types. They are (a) Financial lease and (b)Operating lease. (c) Sale and lease back (d) Leveraged leasing and (e) Direct leasing. 15.5.1 FINANCIAL LEASE Long-term, non-cancellable lease contracts are known as financial leases. The essential point of financial lease agreement is that it contains a condition whereby the lessor agrees to transfer the title for the asset at the end of the lease period at a nominal cost. At lease it must give an option to the lessee to purchase the asset he has used at the expiry of the lease. Under this lease the lessor recovers 90% of the fair value of the asset as lease rentals and the lease period is 75% of the economic life of the asset. The lease agreement is irrevocable. Practically all the risks incidental to the asset ownership and all the benefits arising there from are transferred to the lessee who bears the cost of maintenance, insurance and repairs. Only title deeds remain with the lessor. Financial lease is also known as 'capital lease'. In India, financial leases are very popular with high-cost and high technology equipment. OPERATIIONAL LEASEAn operating lease stands in contrast to the financial lease in almost all aspects. This lease agreement gives to the lessee only a limited right to use the asset. The lessor is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the asset. The lessee is not given any uplift to purchase the asset at the end of the lease period. Normally the lease is for a short period and even otherwise is revocable at a short notice. Mines, Computers hardware, trucks and automobiles are found suitable for operating lease because the rate of obsolescence is very high in this kind of assets. SALE AND LEASE BACK It is a sub-part of finance lease. Under this, the owner of an asset sells the asset to a party (the buyer), who in turn leases back the same asset to the owner in consideration of lease rentals. However, under this arrangement, the assets are not physically exchanged but it all happens in records only. This is nothing but a paper transaction. Sale and lease back transaction is suitable for those assets, which are not subjected depreciation but appreciation, say land. The advantage of this method is that the lessee can satisfy himself completely regarding the quality of the asset and after possession of the asset convert the sale into a lease arrangement. 4)LEVERAGED LEASING Under leveraged leasing arrangement, a third party is involved beside lessor and lessee. The lessor borrows a part of the purchase cost (say 80%) of the asset from the third party i.e., lender and the asset so purchased is held as security against the loan.The lender is paid off from the lease rentals directly by the lessee and the surplus after meeting the claims of the lender goes to the lessor. The lessor, the owner of the assetis entitled to depreciation allowance associated with the asset. 5 DIRECT LEASING Under direct leasing, a firm acquires the right to use an asset from the manufacturer directly. The ownership of the asset leased out remains with the manufacturer itself. The major types of direct lessor include manufacturers, finance companies, independent lease companies, special purpose leasing companies etc ============================ *****for more detail go to this link http://du.ac.in/course/material/ug/ba/esb/Lesson_15.pdf by Vimal Raval

Its Latin name is Lepus, which is the Latin word for "hare." The Hare Constellation lies just south of the celestial equator, and below the constellation Orion. It was one of forty eight constellations discovered by Ptolemy, and remains one of the eighty eight modern constellations.
What causes pulsating variable stars to pulsate?
When the core of a massive star is compressed during a supernova explosion, then collapses into a neutron star, it retains most of its angular momentum.
Since it has only a tiny fraction of its original radius, a neutron star is formed with a very high rotational speed.
A pulsar is a highly magnetised, dense neutron star emitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation.

A "constellation" is better thought of as a direction away from the earth, not a physical object with a particular distance. Saggitarius's nearest star is Ross 154 at 10 light-years. It is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. Saggitarius is also the direction of the core of the Milky Way galaxy, about 27 thousand light-years distant.

Messier 89 (M89 or NGC 4552) is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Virgo.
It's difficult to give a precise size to a galaxy as there is no defining boundary. However, estimates place the size between 100,000 -> 150,000 light years.
